CiviEvents with Multiple Registrations without emails!

[owilken]

We have a "tour" of events coming up, and want to trial using CiviEvents

Historically (the past two years) the methods used have ended up creating a mountain of bad data in our current non-civi database.

So we want to try something new, however, to make it simple for those booking on we dont want to have to confirm the email of each participant and dont want the booker to have to click through/paste their own email multiple times.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Also, is there anyway of changing the upper limit of multiple tickets from 10 to say, 20?

Many thanks in advance!

Ok, so with some digging around I have managed to use price sets to allow multiple tickets for one person, however that leaves us with two issues....

1. The number booked via this is then not counted in the total participant number - is there a bit of code for this or am I missing a link'?
2. I cannot see a way of limiting the number that people enter in the ticket field (ie, people can book over 20 tickets which is not ideal)

Many thanks

I assume you mean it is not counted in the Event Income reports?  The new feature that assigns a participant count to price set fields is great, but there is no way in core to get the total back out. 

I have a patch for the Participant Listing report that adds a column for the count for each registrant as well as a total count in the summary at the bottom.  I also have a custom report that lists the total income and total participants for each of a filtered list of events.

I have been waiting until I tested the reports against 3.2 to submit them for possible future inclusion.  Should be soon now.
